Hi go onto the insurance web site (look on the back of your card for it) and do a serch on bariatric surgery. hope that helps a little

I feel like sh..... right now, I'm on the preop diet since 1/18 and i'm having my surgey on Tuesday. Tonight i couldn't stand it, my son was eating KFU popcorn ck and I ended up eating some of it. this is the first time I have cheated, but NOW I'm SCAREDI messed up. I didn't have my last 2 shakes to balance some of it, but the fat from them... I sure hope this doesn't change anything.. Has anyone slipped on something once and eveything was ok, I need to ease my mind !!!

FINALLY got my approval from my Insurance Today!!!!!!!!!!! I was getting worried my suragey is next Tuesday:thumbup:...It is almost there, starting to get real nervous and scared:scared2:

My Dr didn't tell me to stop until we were going over the preop stuff and we didn't relalize i was on BC, and told me to stop now. Now i'm worried about getting my period right before the surgey which is next Tuesday. Now with the bad ou can not be on the pill or is it just before and right after???

Love the name!!!!!!

I know how you feel, today is day 8 on preop diet and I would love to just eat something, it is driving me crazy:scared2: My surgey is 1 week from today and i can't wait, this time next week I will be banded :thumbup:. I just saw me Dr today and had my pre op at the hospital and tomoworw isee my reg. dr for medical clearence:smile2:

It gets much easier, I'm on my 8th day and I feel fine, at times hunry, that I have my shake. in 1 or 2 days you should be doing a lot better!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck

Hi, My surgery is 2/2/10 and on 7 day of my preop deit 5 shakes and sf jello / sf ice pops. I was never told about this no caffiene, I only drink 1 cup of coffee a day and I drink crysal light ice tea all day, I am going to have a problem??????????

It does get easier, Today was day 4 for me and I have to say tonight I do feel a little better, Just keep in mind the weight you will lose

The ofice just put it in this week, they needed the rest of my Dr.'s letters and clearance. I started the 5 shakes this past monday, and man it is hard.. But I have already lost 8 lbs. Did you finsh all your pretesting?

I started my preop this past monday and let me tell you i'm only allowed 5 optfast shakes a day and YES it is hard but I have lost 8 lbs since then. So all this is really worth it..:biggrin: Good luck to all! Surgery 2/2/10

Am getting nervous a little too, but excited too, I just got clearance from my heart Dr Today :thumbup: , Ya that seems differnt from everyone on i have heard from, that you don't have to do any pre op diet, but all surgen are differnt.. mabe you should check again, just to make sure.. If you don't man your lucky becaue i'm on day 2 of 5 shakes a day and thats it and man it's hard! Keep in touch:smile2:

Welcome My surgery date is 2/2/2010 Have you statred your pre op deit yet:smile:

Well today is my second day on the preop 5 shakes a day, and I'm feeling very tired and weak, my heads feels fuzzy, if that makes any sense. I don't know how i'm going to deal with this feeling:mad2:. Does anyone one else feel this way. I have my surgery set for 2/2/10 .... 2 weeks from today. Man this is hard!!!!!!!

Well this it I have my shaker cups out and all my water all set up to start my Day 1 of my pre op diet. As I get closer and closer to my surgey the more excited I am :w00t:

what is it, the higher your BMI the longer our on the pre op diet? I have just notice that alot of peple on the pre opt longer than others

Yes that's it, I could have done the 3 shakes and some food but I decided to not have anyfood because I'm better off this way..:w00t:

That is GREAT! Good luck to you!:drool:
